Jianghu Guest Qinglu

Let the court explode immediately, and the ministers talked a lot.

Emperor Xuan was dull and silent, Fang Xiang looked indifferent.

Because Lan Qingke was on an envoy to the Liao Kingdom and was not in the court, most people in the court did not speak, and only discussed in private.

As for Fang Xiang's lineage, naturally no one wants Fang Xiang to marry in another country. Regardless of how Fang Xiang is a man, how can he marry someone? Another generation of virtuous ministers, loved by the people, is a rare think tank. If such a person is trapped in the harem with women, wouldn't it be a waste, let alone marrying to another country, so the officials in the court, Naturally, no one agrees, and it is rare to have the same opinion.

"Nonsense, Fang Xiang is a man, how can he marry someone..."

"Yes, Fang Xiang is the pillar of the country, how can he marry someone else..."

"The Kingdom of Jin deceives people too much. Could it be that they humiliated our country because they thought that there was no one in Song Dynasty..."

"The last general is willing to send troops to teach the Kingdom of Jin a lesson, so that they can experience the military power of the Great Song Dynasty"

……

……

After the officials calmed down, Emperor Xuan said, "The fourth prince also saw the reactions of the officials. Do you think Zhen will agree to let Fang Xiang marry a prince from another country..."

The fourth prince, Yuan An, was not depressed, and still smiled and said, "This prince is going to marry Fang Xiang, not someone else. What do other people think and say, what is the matter with this prince, this prince only listens to Fang Xiang's decision, if Fang Xiang It is best if Xiang Xiang is willing, if Fang Xiang is unwilling, this prince will not force it, but this time the marriage with relatives may end in vain, I, Da Jin, come here with sincerity, Da Song naturally has to give face!"

Hearing the threat in Yuan An's words, all the officials were indignant, but there was nothing they could do.

No one wants to fight, not even the generals. Everyone wants the world to be peaceful and the people to be healthy.

There are rapid changes between countries, and sometimes it is only a small dispute that leads to war between the two countries.

Fang Huai looked at Yuan An's ardent eyes, "Fang Huai is fortunate to be loved by the Fourth Prince...Since the Fourth Prince has already decided to do so, if Fang Huai refuses, it will be unsatisfactory... I have heard about the martial arts of the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin Extraordinary, it is expected that the fourth prince is naturally not weak, and as a prince, Wentao and martial arts are indispensable, so, the truth promises, three days later, the four princes will fight against my general of the Song Dynasty at the Meridian Gate... If you win the competition, you will participate in the subsequent competitions, if you lose, you will lose... If you win both civil and military competitions, then you will keep your promise and marry the fourth prince as your concubine under the name of Song Youcheng..."

Even if the officials were unwilling, they had to compromise. Anyway, there were many generals in the Song Dynasty. Even if the four princes were really good at martial arts, they would not be able to defeat the wheel of war. Maybe Yuan An would not be able to marry Prime Minister Fang.

Yuan An didn't feel that he was at a disadvantage, so he readily accepted.

Three days later, Wumen, Wubi.

With the emperor as the judge, hundreds of officials watched the game, and the generals participated in the competition. Today, the people in the capital put aside their affairs and gathered around the Meridian Gate to watch the game, just to see how the fourth prince of the Great Jin Dynasty has the ability to marry the Youcheng of the Song Dynasty.

Fang Huai sat quietly under the curtain, with a smile on his lips all the time, but people couldn't feel whether he was really smiling or a formulaic smile. After all, Fang Xiang was gentle and refined, a gentleman like jade.

Seeing the fourth prince Yuan'an defeating the generals of the Song Dynasty on the field, the emperor's expression remained unchanged, but the ministers could feel a burst of depression, and Fang Xiang's expression remained unchanged. What is the view.

After all, Fang Xiang, as a man, should not be willing to marry someone else, but he is the Youcheng of the Great Song Dynasty, with a heavy responsibility and a sense of responsibility. If it is for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, Fang Xiangzhen might sacrifice his life for benevolence.

Yuan An stood on the court, waiting for the generals of the Song Dynasty to enter the court, but no one came on the court. For a while, the court was extremely quiet. Could it be that Fang Xiang really couldn't escape such a trick of fate?

Yuan An looked around, with a smile on his lips, in the eyes of all officials, there was endless ridicule.

Yuan An was about to speak, but suddenly heard the sound of a flute, misty and lingering, leisurely and peaceful, the sound of the flute came from far to near, and everyone saw a blue dress coming from the sky, the clothes were flying, the hair was flying, and the face was like a crown Yu, soft fingers and fair skin, the man in blue slowly landed on the field, standing face to face with Yuan An.

At the end of the song, the man in blue put away his jade flute, pinned it on his waist, and said with a salty smile, "The fourth prince is highly skilled in martial arts. Although the generals of the Song Dynasty can kill enemies in blood on the battlefield, they can't get any benefit from the knights of the rivers and lakes. The fourth prince has a high-level teacher to teach him, so why not let this person from the rivers and lakes ask for advice, it is fair... Although I am not an official in the court, but as a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, I have to do my part, I don’t know How does the Fourth Prince feel?"

Although Yuan An was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He thought that people in the Jianghu would not want to have much to do with the imperial court, no matter the country, so how could they expect such a situation to happen.Originally, there was no rule not to allow Jiang Hu people to play, and now he can't refuse in front of everyone, he can only agree, and clasped his hands, "Please also report your name..."

The man in blue smiled leisurely, "Lan Ruohuai is not talented, so I'm here to ask the Fourth Prince for advice!"

Yuan An's eyes flashed, "Please!"

As soon as the voice fell, he made a move, and the fierce move went straight to the man in blue.

The man in blue easily dodged away, his sleeves fluttered, and a wall of air resisted Yuan An's offensive. He was able to dodge under his own blow and not hurt half a point. It can be seen that the opponent is definitely not an ordinary quack. He understands his own strength. There are definitely few opponents in Dajin. Even Da Song, he thought I am very powerful, but now I know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the people. The Song Dynasty is by no means a weak country. I used to think that the Song Dynasty favored literature and derogated from the military. Now it seems that the Song Dynasty has a lot of talents, but it has not been revealed.

Yuan An puts all his energy into it, and dare not be perfunctory in the challenge. He can't lose, because this trip to the Great Song Dynasty is for...

I don't know if the man in blue didn't bother to entangle with Yuan An. He defeated Yuan An within five moves or avoided everything. Yuan An fell from the ring to the ground, raising a layer of dust.

Yuan An looked up at the man in blue on the field, his eyes met, the other gave him a faint glance, but he felt chills all over his body.

The man in blue cupped his hands and said, "Accept!"

Those eyes were full of smiles, but they didn't reach the depths, they were very cold.

In the match at the Meridian Gate, the fourth prince Yuan An was defeated by the man in blue. The marriage was messed up and he failed to complete the task. Yuan An thought that he had never been to the Song Dynasty, and wanted to have some fun in the capital, accompanied by Fang Xiang. For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the emperor could only agree.

As soon as Li Yuan and Guo Shuheng returned to Beijing, they were secretly sent to the southwest by the emperor. The situation in the court was gloomy. The emperor attached great importance to border defense, but he didn't talk about it in the court. He only talked in secret with several ministers in the imperial study room, but the content of the detailed talk was never outflow.

When Fang Xiang accompanied Yuan An to play around the capital, the emperor secretly passed on the general Ke Xuan.

Ke Xuan followed Eunuch Ma into the imperial study room, Eunuch Ma withdrew, Ke Xuan knelt down and bowed, "Ke Xuan bows to the emperor!"

"Get up!" came the emperor's voice from above.

When Ke Xuan stood up, he saw the emperor who was concentrating on approving memorials, the Minister of Rites who was grinding beside the emperor, and Lan Qingke who was drinking tea on the right.

Ke Xuan didn't know what the emperor told him to do, so he could only bow his head and remain silent.

After a while, the emperor put down the memorial, stretched his muscles and bones, walked around the desk, and walked around the room. After a long time, he said, "Kexuan, how many troops do you have on the northwest frontier, and are they loyal to you alone?"

Ke Xuan looked up at the emperor, then quickly lowered his head, knelt on the ground, without the slightest panic, just stating a fact, "The last general has been in the northwest for a long time, half of the 25 years, the relationship between the border guards and the young general is good, the last There will be difficulties, and they will not let them go!"

If other generals were asked such a question by the emperor, they would have been terrified, thinking that the emperor wanted to exploit military power and kill others, so they would naturally disregard all ties, but the emperor asked Ke Xuan, who seemed honest but lacking in thoughtfulness Kexuan, that's the only way he would confide the truth, explaining clearly.

In fact, there is that person in this world who is really innocent, but it's just a disguise.

In front of others, Kexuan was never a person who made a fuss, never flattered others, was not for power, and had no airs of authority. He ate in the same pot with the soldiers and trained together. Although he was serious and had no fun, it was rare to see everything He was a Qing person, so Ke Xuan dared to confess to the emperor because he knew that the emperor would not kill him.

The emperor pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and the Minister of Rites came over and handed something to Kexuan.

Ke Xuan took it over, unfolded it for a look, was startled, and there was no movement on his face, "What does the emperor want the general to do?"

The emperor glanced at Kexuan approvingly, "It's good to talk to smart people. This time they deceived people too much. If they don't teach them a little lesson, they don't know how powerful they are. A few countries even want to annex Song Dynasty. It's wishful thinking. Song Dynasty has been fighting with them for many years. There is nothing wrong with each other, the well water does not interfere with the river water, they are not satisfied, and I, Da Song, are not easy to bully, since they are not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous... Ke Xuan, you are most familiar with the northwest. Guard the border to prepare for emergencies and prevent problems before they happen..."

Ke Xuan said loudly, "Ke Xuan takes orders!"

The emperor propped Ke Xuan up, and Ke Xuan stood up.

The emperor said again, "Since you are going to the northwest, you must also be clear about the situation in the northwest. Don't be a frog at the bottom of a well and watch the sky from the bottom of a well. Mr. Lan has gained a lot from his mission to Daliao. Just listen to him."

Hearing this, Ke Xuan looked at Lan Qingke, and the two of them met each other without any surprise. Lan Qingke put down his teacup, "This time, Daliao and his party, taking advantage of the Liao Emperor's birthday, can learn that Daliao is divided into three forces. , Liao
